I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 571 Pets

Faith is etched into their very blood.

No one in Miao territory would doubt their faith.

But Li Shisan desperately wanted to know what kind of Gu God they worshipped was, how magical and great it was, that it could move the hearts of generation after generation. He had never had the chance to find the answer before, unless he could become the new High Priest and communicate with the Gu God.

But no one knows how the high priest of Miao territory is chosen.

Li Shisan once asked the High Priest how to become the High Priest. The High Priest replied that he would understand when the God of Gu chose him.

Therefore, those who are not chosen by the God of Gu to become high priests will never know how to become high priests.

This was a problem that had troubled him for a long time. He even pestered his grandfather for a long time to ask him about it. His grandfather said that the people of Miao territory each have their own duties. There is only one high priest. It is not necessary to become the high priest in order to do good for Miao territory. Every member of the Miao people is a part of Miao territory.

After that, he stopped dwelling on that issue.

But he still wants to know.

Seeing his resolute expression, Chief Li pondered for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder instead of trying to stop him. "This journey is extremely dangerous. I can only secretly dispatch a group of people to escort you to Mirror Lake, but the Grand Elder will definitely send people to stop us. Besides that, there will likely be other obstacles. Thirteen, you are a man, and you represent our Miao region. You must protect Hua Rui and Miss Lu, understand?"

"Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely protect Hua Rui and Miss Lu." Li Shisan patted his chest and promised.

Chief Li nodded with satisfaction, then said to Lu Yangyang, "After nightfall, my men will find an opportunity to escort you into the dense forest. The journey will be fraught with danger, so please take care."

Now that the cooperation had been reached, Lu Yangyang said frankly, "I also wish Chief Li all the best."

Chief Li had many things to do and didn't linger, leaving soon after. Granny Yin, however, smiled and asked Lu Yangyang, "I see that you seem to have some interest in Gu worms. Would you like to see how we raise them?"

Lu Yangyang was indeed interested, but Wen Qingqing was even more interested. If Wen Qingqing knew that she had missed such a good opportunity, she would definitely regret it to death.

However, by this time, Wen Qingqing should already be waiting in the dense forest.

wrong!

Lu Yangyang suddenly realized that she had only thought about splitting up with Wen Qingqing in case of emergency, but she had overlooked the fact that if the Crown Prince had been prepared, he must have had people lying in ambush near Miao territory.

Although Crescent Moon Mountain is large, it is still some distance from the Miao region, and with the Miao people patrolling day and night, the place is not exactly hidden.

The most suitable place for Tibetans is the dense forests of the southwest, which are teeming with poisonous plants!

Yuhua Village is located right next to the outer edge of the dense forest!

If that happens, Wen Qingqing will be in great danger!

Thinking of this, Lu Yangyang couldn't sit still for even a quarter of an hour, and she had no interest in looking at any Gu worms anymore. Without hesitation, she immediately said to Granny Yin, "Granny, the sister who came with us, just in case, I asked her to go to the dense forest to wait for me ahead of time. I'm worried that she might be in danger, and I want to go to her as soon as possible. Can you help me think of a way?"

After a moment's thought, Granny Yin understood Lu Yangyang's concerns. She was worried about being trapped in Miao territory, which was why she and her companions split up.

only……

Granny Yin frowned. "The dense forest is fraught with danger. Even I dare not venture too deep. If your sister is in the forest, it is indeed too dangerous for her. But the Grand Elder's men are surely lying in wait nearby. It's not the best time for you to leave. Let me think..."

“Mother-in-law, I think that since that’s the case, we might as well force our way in,” Yin Caiping said.

"Hmm?" Granny Yin looked at her.

Yin Caiping explained, "The reason the chief chief ordered them to act at night is because they are too conspicuous during the day, and his men can't show themselves openly. But now everyone knows they've come to our Yinhua Village. Yinhua Village isn't too far from the dense forest, so we might as well escort them there ourselves. Even if the elder's men try to stop us, it's our own decision. At worst, we'll just have to fight. That way, as long as we get to the dense forest smoothly, the chief chief's men won't have to worry about us anymore."

Granny Yin pondered for a moment and nodded: "You're right. Rather than being remembered, it's better to let everyone know openly that we sent them to the dense forest. This way, Miss Lu can find her companions sooner, and it will also distract the elders and the others, making it easier for the chief's men to act secretly."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately ordered, "In that case, Caiping, gather the people immediately. I will personally oversee the process and escort them there."

Yin Caiping immediately replied, "Yes!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Yangyang hurriedly thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Grandma, thank you, Chief Yinhua."

Granny Yin waved her hand: "While we have time, I'll have someone prepare some dry food for you to take with you. This place is still quite a distance from Mirror Lake, and the dense forest is difficult to traverse. It may take quite a few days to get here."

Then she instructed people to quickly prepare some food and antidote pills that might be needed. When everything was almost ready, Yin Caiping had also gathered her people. Granny Yin handed over the prepared luggage to them and personally led them away from the chieftain's mansion.

As Lu Yangyang and the others walked out, Mingruo subconsciously stood beside Lu Yangyang, wanting to protect him, but Lu Yangyang pulled her away, saying, "Move over there."

Mingruo froze for a moment, then said in a good-natured tone, "Yangyang, I am not powerless."

He has suffered countless hardships over the years, and during his time in the opera troupe, he learned a lot of tricks from all walks of life. He is capable of protecting himself, so why would he need a young girl to protect him?

Mingruo was both amused and exasperated.

Lu Yangyang thought for a moment, "Then you keep an eye on the flower stamens."

Mingruo: "..."

He couldn't help but look at Lu Yangyang, but Lu Yangyang had already looked away alertly.

The women of Yinhua Village hold a pivotal position in Miao territory because their Gu (poisonous insect) techniques are far superior to those of other villages. At Yin Caiping's command, about a hundred girls scattered around, their waists adorned with exquisite little bottles.

One of the girls, who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, walked at the front, her fingers gently twitching.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the roadside bushes.

Lu Yangyang looked toward the commotion and saw a large, patterned python, several meters long, slithering to the side of the little girl. The part of its body that it raised was much thicker than the little girl!

Lu Yangyang looked at the little girl in surprise.

Yin Caiping, who was standing nearby, thought she was scared and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, young lady. That's Yue Ling's pet."
